For several years the Crown Princess has attended the opening of Day of Research such as she did this year. The event is more a research festival with the vision to raise awareness and interest of the importance of research in our society and daily life. Day of Research gives the opportunity to get closer to what research and science is. The Crown Princess was welcomed with handshakes, smiles and flowers at the arrival. She was given a tour around the festival to see for herself some of the amazing projects people had been working on to this very special moment. She also participated in many of the projects and asked lots of questions to the activities she was shown. It was also as patron of the event that Mary presented the Research Communication Award later that day on occasion of the project which was given to Professor and Dr Lars Østergård for his research in infectious diseases. Congratulations to the professor with this very fine award. During the visit Mary was in a really great mood and seemed to have a wonderful time.

Lately I noticed that many royals around the world wear red and pink. Finally we also get to see Mary wear these girly shades! Let us admit it, she looks great in her new GOAT dress -she even matched the event logo. Kate is the one we need to thanks for helping us identifying Mary's new dress. So far, this is the first time she wear something from that designer, but I don't hope it is going to be the last. She accessorized the new dress with a matching Carlend Copenhagen clutch and jewellery from both Marianne Dulong and Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. As shoes she had chosen her beige pumps featuring the red sole from Christian Louboutin. Always admired how she manages to match bright colour with rather bold ones. Makes both colours stand more out and looks their very best. I have tried it multiple times myself and it works perfectly. If you haven't already tried it, I think you should. A great little trick. Oh... and take a look at her hair. It is just so beautiful. Love how it makes her face more open.
